Pros:

First ingredient is a named meat product.

Cons:

Insufficient meat product, use of corn, fat third on the ingredient list (a bloat risk factor for large breed dogs)

The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product in meal form. There is a further meat product (herring meal) as the 8th ingredient, but this is unlikely to make up a significant portion of the food (ingredients are listed in order of weight).

The second ingredient is corn. Corn is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems.

It is a concern to see chicken fat as the third ingredient. Research at Purdue University has identified a fat in the top four ingredients of a dry dog food as a factor that increases the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.

Oatmeal and brown rice are decent quality grains, and we appreciate the use of whole eggs in the food.

We note that this food uses citric acid as a preservative and should not be premoistened prior to feeding (a bloat risk factor in large breed dogs).
